Ok so after having a long talk with Jake Thursday and Friday night. He said he would not buy another boat. I believe he is officially done looking. This guy called his cell yesterday and asked if he was still interested, Jake told him no. Jake has decided to save the money in a saving account and let interest build and put more money with it when we have it. In a couple of years when Kaleb is old enough to attend.. Jake is going to be a really GOOD boat that will last Kalebs childhood.. so that he and daddy can have fishing trips together. he said he wanted something that was 8 years old instead of 15.. so he knew it would be a good one. Hope this status wont change. I think this is the best decision for Jake.
also there is no news from state farm. we are still on standby. Crappy yes.. but I can do it. I keep telling myself to still have patience.. so WE can do it.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS
Ive got so much on my mind these days.
I wont share to much and get you all suckered into my sappy drama.
1. I am feeling more and more sad about the house situation. I cant believe it will be 3 months on the 27th this month. State Farm sucks so bad and has no heart nor care about our situation. From the rate this is going, we wont be in our house for Christmas, much less New Years. I will cry like a baby if my child starts walking before he is home. I don't want him to take his first steps in a home that he cant call home. He don't know any difference but his momma sure does! and It completely sucks! Once we hear back from state farm from this last report , we need to sit down and discuss our options. Either we fight more and settle with what they present us.
2. So from that, DO we get a loan and add more debt to our family???
We are thinking about adding another loan to help pay for the rest of the construction on our house. Do we or Don't we?? We are doomed either way. Either we have a house that is " half way fixed, because we don't have the money to do so. or we have a house that is beautiful and whole again but we would be in debt up to our nose??"
3. I have thought about tackling another job. Having two jobs, both full time, and raising my family. Is this possible? I would love the extra money for daycare.. but will I be around to watch Kaleb make his firsts at his development stages??
4. I have even thought about not working any more to stay at home with Kaleb and not having to fork out daycare expenses. But we would have to sacrifice alot. And I would loose great insurance. So that is probably not wise. I HIGHLY doubt this will ever happen until we have our second child.. but still.. its a thought.
5. Does Jake save money or buy a new boat? In my opinion, I would love to save money. Who knows when we will need an extra 500 for new tires.. or got for bid I loose my job and we need to support us until I get another job. But I want Jake to feel happy again. I want him to call something his own. I want him to feel special and proud that he has a boat completely paid for. He has a picture perfect future of him and his son fishing together in a great boat. Sounds great to me.. but do we take this risk???
I need lots of prayers coming my way. I don't want to be a crazy person. I want to be calm and have all my ducks in a row. I want to be sweet and have my head on straight. I think I am having a great day and then BAM I have lost my patience and there I go arguing about the silliest things. Jake and I love each other.. and we are the best of friends... but this stress can be terrible at times and I don't want us to fight. I want us to be happy always. I want to be a delight to be around. I don't want to take medicine.. I know I might have to one day or go to therapy.. but I am embarrassed and sad and I just want to be NORMAL.. that's all . I want my life to be normal again. Please pray for me. Pray for my patience and strength to get through these hard times.

The Weekend
Friday Morning we all woke up around the same time, Jake , Kaleb, and I. We all got ready and had our breakfast, Kaleb did not. He had his bottle at Aunt Heathers house. Her and MIL was keeping him today. I think he really enjoys going over there =)
Work was crazy.. Fridays are always alittle busier because there isn't many people working. SO the people that are at work , tend to do other peoples jobs as well. I was doing mine, my managers, Lisa's.. all with a smile on my face. I really did have a smile on my face about 2 o'clock. I got al ittle surprise!! Mr. Kaleb came to see me! oh how I miss him during the day and it is always nice of him to come and visit me at work! I hate that no one really got to see him around the office .. but then again it was ok because if he cried.. no one is there to listen to it! =) He was alittle fussy at first, i held him and gave him a bottle and then i laid him down for a nap. he didn't get to sleep long, Cheryl was waiting on Keith to come back and pick her up, so when he got there, they got Kaleb and left. After they left I had tongs of work to do that i needed to finish before going home. Tonight we were having a get together for Jake's bday bash! He turned 24 July 16th.
SO we had family over to eat dinner and his favorite, cookie cake! I made Chicken casserole, green bean casserole, potato casserole, and mac and cheese and salad and rolls. YUMMY! It turned out great and I think Jake had a great time with the family!
The next morning I surprise him with a round of golf. He was soo excited ! He had been asked to go play all week long. He had no idea! His friend Billy came and picked him up at 8 and he didn't get home till 3. So while he went and had fun playing golf , me and Kaleb and Glory had some alone time! we snuggled and took naps and I cleaned the house and washed up clothes in between time. He was going to spend the night for the first time with his Aunt Anna tonight while Jake and I went to the concert. Jake's family and I went to the Jamie Johnson concert. It was ok. ha , I am not a huge fan.. but I went anyway for the company of Jake. =) We did leave early because Jake had a headache. WE went home and went straight to bed and the next morning we got up and went to pick up baby Kaleb! I was so excited and couldn't wait to get him.. and hold him. I cried like a baby when we pulled out of the driveway ( when we first dropped him off Saturday night) and then I wanted to cry with excitement that morning!
Anyways,, enough of that.. Hope everyone else had a great weekend too!!

thursday
aUHHH Thursday... One step closer to Friday!
Kaleb didnt sleep well this morning. He woke up wayyyy to early. He dont ever wake up early. He has been on the same schedule for a long time now, but yet this morning was different. 4:45.. he is up. He never cried but he was awake and happy. I use the bathroom, fix a bottle and then change and feed him. He layed there happy as ever till we needed to leave the house at 6:30. Jake is supper slow in the mornings. I have to tell him to roll out of bed a million times before he actually does so. This was a slow morning for him.. and which ran me later than expected. For me to be at work on time I really need to leave the house before 6:30. today I left at 6:41.
I dropped off Kaleb at Aunt Heathers house and off I go to work!
Work was fine and easy. Nothing special happend. Lunch break came fairly quick and I ran and did alot of chores in one hour. I left work to run to Publix to get things to fix for Friday's dinner. Left there to drop them off at the house. Left there to grab Taco Bell, which is supppppppeeeerrrr SLOW. I have 15 mins to be at work and I still have one more stop. I had to check the mail at the concord house. SO I did, and there was no mail. Off to work I go. Late as usual. =) I was busy the second half of work.. 5 o clock came before I knew it. I was so ready to get in the car and on the road to see my Mr. Gosh seeing his face makes my day sooo much better! I visit with Aunt Heather and my MIL cheryl for a few minutes and then I put him in the truck. I had to run a few arrons before I went and had dinner wtih my parents. They were excited to see him too. =) We had Chicken fingers, green beans, squishe and fried ocra and cornbread for dinner, yummy =) Jake came in a little later only becuase he was cutting grass at the house and had to finish up before he ate. After dinner we left early becuase I needed to cook up the dinners for the friday night. Cooking ahead makes my job alot easier. Jake went to the drive range. He is wanting to play golf really bad for his bday. Little does he know , he will =) its a surprise. Kaleb was fussy fighting sleep tonight. Bath started at 8:30 and in bed by 9:45.. for some reason he was fighing big time... jake and I right behind him.
update on Kaleb
wore his first pair of blue jean overalls today!! love them! so cute!

Update on State Farm
The engineer came out to the house that friday ( refer to the last post on state farm)he left the house stating that he would be out of town for a couple of days and it would take him around 2 weeks to finalize the report. So since then, we still havent heard anything. State farm is slow and we have to be patient. We did however find out that Jakes boat is totalled. They are supposed to send us a check in the mail for that. SO now Jake is on the look out for a new boat. I want him to be happy and have one, but at the moment we dont have a place to put it. and it would be nice to hold a check for awhile. so we will see where that path takes us.
